2. Chop and steam the broccoli :
In a saucepan with a steamer basket, add 1 inch of water. up to a boil. Flake broccoli into the dish. The broccoli florets should be barely soft after 5 minutes of steaming. To stop the cooking, rinse with cold water.
The broccoli florets should be finely chopped. 2 1/2 cups should be about right.
